Good to know
Paint questions, answered
Quick answers from our counter staff.
Can you paint leather with Angelus paint?
Yes. Angelus paint is a water-based acrylic made for leather shoes, bags and furniture. Take off the factory finish first with 3 to 5 passes of Leather Preparer & Deglazer, then paint in thin coats.
How many coats does it take, and how long does it dry?
3 to 5 thin coats give full coverage, and fewer work for line and detail work. Let each coat dry 15 to 30 minutes, then wait at least 24 hours before the paint bends or flexes.
How far does a 1 oz. bottle go?
About 2 to 3 pairs of shoes per 1 oz. bottle for a full repaint. Detail work uses much less.
Does it work on canvas, denim and fabric?
Yes. Clean the fabric first so no oils or dirt are left. Mix in 2-Soft to keep painted fabric soft and more laundrable, and heat set it when you use 2-Soft.
Do I need to seal it?
It's optional, and it helps. A layer or two of 4-Coat adds protection and sets the sheen: Flat, Matte, Satin or High Gloss.
What if I make a mistake?
You can always adjust. Dried paint comes off with Deglazer, or you can simply paint over it.
Looks great on shoes. Gives a royal vibe.
Was easy to use and if you are patient and layer it looks amazing!
LOVED working with this paint. I updated a 15 yr old brown leather couch to a bright purple. It came out absolutely amazing. I wish I could share pictures.
Paint is perfect and exactly what I have grown to expect from Angelus Paints!
I am customizing 26 pairs of Nike Dunks for a dance team and after determining this was the right color I purchased a pint! Thank You
Angelus paints are amazing. Beautiful, vibrant colors, great coverage, no flaking. They are beginner friendly, very easy to use. This was my first leather painting project, and I was very impressed with how well the colors built up with every layer. I allowed ample drying time between coats, and after almost a year of carrying the purse, I still have no flaws whatsoever in the paint or glitter.
Perfectly saturated, perfectly pearlescent - just gorgeous purple! Loved working with it.
Like all other Angelus products, the Prince Purple applies smoothly and has excellent coverage. The pearlescent aspect of the paint is luxurious and sexy! I am looking for used purses to rehab, so I can use it some more... maybe I need matching shoes....
We love this!
Obsessed with this purple! It’s shiny and beautiful
I love this color! As do my customers. I love this paint and color so much! It’s a perfect addition to my handmade bags
These pearlescent paints coat well and don't show brush strokes. Easily helped me restore these skate boots.
It was the perfect color and shimmer for my project. All the products I've tried have worked really well
This is such a great color!
Number 1 paint to custom shoes with.
Love the finish! Purple brought the shoes to life. One of a kind
I wasn’t sure I’d love it, but the sparkle adds something. I was worried it would scream Halloween-nope
First and foremost, I highly encourage everyone to consider buying/using an airbrush to apply this paint. I used an airbrush and paint brush to compare and the difference is incredible. The brushed on paint looks OK, the airbrushed paint looks amazing! It is exactly as I expected it and am glad I went with this color.
Awesome paint
Very satisfied with the finish.
I just received my package today (3/5) and I’m amazed how this color looks…
I love this color! The perfect amount of glitter. Prince would approve
The paint exceeded my expectations I thought it looked good in the picture. But in real life it is way better. Its a beautiful color. One day I hope you can make a midnight purple.
I love all the colors, all my handbags have been given a new lease of life.
Love the vibrant color, I'm excited to use it on my projects!
I'm so glad to see so many kinds of purple. So many places on have super dark or super light purples.
I’ll be ordering more
Very high quality, will definitely recommend!
I really like the color it worked great around the leather edge of my boot however on the stripes that I really wanted painted that purple color it did not take and was disappointed in that part overall the product is pretty good
Everything was great
